High Fibre Choc Cookies
November, 2020
These cookies are loaded with extra fibre and protein thanks to their secret weapon... chickpeas! I love baking with vegetables and this snack combines the delicious and feel-good taste of dark chocolate and sweet currents, with the crumbly texture of chickpeas.
